Ok. I have been seriously working with VIM for the first time, and I
must say, it will be difficult to find anything as versatile as VIM.
There is a small learning curve for casual use, and a slight shift in
thinking, but after getting my feet wet, I am very impressed, and feel
that VIM will most likely become my primary editor. Not really an IDE,
but pretty darn close, and maybe even better.
